Advantages: A blast from the Past! Disadvantages: slightly dated. Some fillers.
...come on. After all, the Simpsons were big news in 1991, and for those of us, who didn’t have sky at the time, it was pure excitement to catch a glimpse of Bart of terrestrial television.
Riding the crest of a wave, the Simpsons created an album called “The Simpsons Sing the Blues.” It was the must have album for early 90’s kids. I had it on cassette, of course, CDs being terribly expensive at the time but over time it went lower and lower to the ... ...lifted a CD of “The Simpsons Sing the Blues.” I showed it to my boyfriend and we had a little giggle at it. We split up to visit different shops at this stage and when we met for tea later he presented me with the CD, saying that as it had made me laugh so much, he thought I should have it. So when we got to the car we popped it in, and laughed the whole way home, singing along to old tunes we both recognised. And I’m sure it would be exactly the ...

Advantages: Decent entertainment Disadvantages: Non-fans of the show will just think they've ruined the songs
...dissuade me from buying "The Simpsons Sing the Blues" when I saw it on sale in Asda for £3, as I figured that the amount of entertainment it would provide would outweigh the number of duff notes they would hit. The album opens with "Do The Bartman" which was a number 1 single way back in 1991, well before "The Simpsons" had become as popular in the UK as it is now. It's certainly a very dated song now, being the kind of pop-dance-rap hybrid that ... ...humour so typical of the Simpsons and which raise a very un-blues like smile.
The second single from the album is another original tune. "Deep Deep Trouble" again reflects the style of pop-dance-rap from the early 1990s and, also similar to "Do The Bartman" it features references to and input from the whole family. Again, it's dated quite badly and it's one that can only be listened to by fans of the show, as musically it doesn't have a lot going ...

The Simpsons – Sing The Blues (1990)
I was recently sorting through my CDs when I came across this. Sad I know but I played it again for a laugh! In my defence I was only young and it beats the Bob The Builder songs! Anyway heres my first CD review so I thought I would do a fun one that we can all have a laugh at.
So who are The Simpsons?
For those of you who haven’t heard of them where have you been? The Simpsons is a cartoon created by Matt ... ...to be the Simpsons! The Simpsons are Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie. There are thousands of other characters I could mention but this is not a review of the programme so on to the CD!
There have been four albums released and Sing The Blues was the first. It was released in 1990 and then re-released in 1996. I tried finding out how many copies were sold, the only figure I could find was 4 million so I’m not sure if this is correct!

Advantages: Worth listening to if a fan of the show Disadvantages: Some weak tracks
...also been featured in the Simpsons series, and it's interesting to hear the whole version on the album.
'Deep, deep trouble' follows this, Bart's 2nd single. It's a rap track with a funky beat, and some scratching thrown in for good measure.
'God bless the child' is the second Lisa track, a soulful ballad with a sax solo again. I like this track, as it's soulful, but again, doesn't add a lot to the overall album.
'I love to see you smile' is the ... ...CD has an interesting inlay, it shows each simpsons character beside the person who provides their voice, and it's nice to see what the people behind the voices actually look like...
The album in itself isn't a classic, but worth a listen if you're a fan of the show. ...
